November
26, 2014 - The V8i (SELECTseries 5) update of SewerCAD, SewerGEMS, StormCAD, and
CivilStorm is scheduled for simultaneous release in 2015 with Bentley’s
upcoming Subsurface Utilities Design and Analysis (SUDA) product. SUDA and the
sewer and stormwater products will share the same file format, ensuring full
compatibility and enabling information mobility without the need for file
conversions.
Gregg
Herrin, Bentley Systems director, product management, hydraulics and
hydrology, said, “Bentley’s sewer and stormwater analysis
and design products are typically used for site development, roadway, or municipal
projects. The release of SUDA will combine the automated hydraulic design
functionality of our sewer and storm products with the physical design and terrain
modeling capabilities of Bentley’s civil products. SUDA files can be used directly
in the sewer/storm products (and vice versa), without the need for importing
and exporting. The shared format of these products will enable SUDA users to have
seamless access to advanced hydraulic capabilities.”
In
addition to sharing the same file format, SUDA and the V8i (SELECTseries 5) release of the sewer and stormwater products
will also share other common functionality, such as access to online content
libraries, and inclusion of new lateral pipe elements.
